Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

The correct alternative to the underlined part of the sentence "Some forms of feminisms have been criticised for take into account only white, middle class and college educated perspectives" is for taking into.

When a preposition like "for" is used, it must be followed by a noun or a gerund (verb + -ing form). In this case, the gerund form "taking into account" is required to be grammatically correct.

Why other options are incorrect:

  • "to take in" changes both the preposition and the phrasal verb, altering the meaning
    • "to take into" changes the preposition and doesn't fix the verb form issue
    • "by take into" changes the preposition and keeps the incorrect verb form

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.
